The Blood-Chlorophyll Labyrinth

The haemoglobin in our blood is identical at a cellular level to that of plant’s chlorophyll. The only difference is that the core element of this molecule is iron for us, and magnesium for plants.

The construction of the labyrinth combines a classic seed design and the shape of the common the blood/chlorophyll cells.

A Sorbus Embley (Rowan tree) grows at the heart of the labyrinth, at the exact point where two underground streams intersect. The leaves of this species, whilst green in summer, turn blood-red in autumn.
